The Events that will answer the Whys
Firee woke up from a long time dream and then she heard a low thunder-like rumble, whih was hard to locate until she saw a cloud of dust moving along one of the roads--towards the stand of trees, and toward her. It was about a mile away, but it wasn't moving slowly, and all of a sudden she felt afraid. She looked sideways and worried that the goblins were everywhere. But she shook that fear of her head. She know she's strong. She's firee seeker. The hotheaded, impatient and the powerful Firee Seeker. So why would she be afraid?
She stared back into the grove. She found a narrow space between two great roots and crammed herself into it, peering over the buttress beside her and out avoiding the approaching cloud. She can't be touched by those clouds, or else she'll lost her power.
What she saw made her head spin. At first it looked like a motorcycle gang. Then she thought it was herd of wheeled animals. But that was impossible. Geez, no animals could have wheels. She blinked. She wasn't seeing it. But she was. Still in a dream.
"A dream inside a dream?"
Then as the creatures come to the halt nor fifty yards away, and the dust settled, she suddenly made the connection, and she couldn't help laughing out loud with a little cough of delight.
The wheels were seedpods. Perfectly round, immensely hard and light--they couldn't have been designed better. The creatures hooked a claw through the center of the pods with their front and rear legs, and used their two lateral legs to push against the ground and move along. While she marveled at this, she was also a little anxious, for their horns looked formidably sharp, and even at this distance firee could see the intelligence and curiosity in their gaze.
And they were looking for her.
One of them had spotted the seedpod she had taken out of the grove, and he trundled off the road toward it. When he reached it, he lifted into his trunk and rolled it over to his companions.
They gathered around the pod and touched it delicately with those powerful, flexible trunks, and she found herself interpretingthe soft chirrups and clicks and hoots they were making as expressions of disapproval. Someone had tampered with this: it was wrong.
Then she thought: I am here for a purpose, although I don't understand it yet. Whatever that is, only the Mighty Creator knows. Be hold. Take the initiative.
Suddenly a thought crossed her mind. Loke a voice...
Like her other self speaking to her, her lonely self.
"I wanted to escape" It was the only word running on her head. escape. From this reality, loneliness and sadness that she is feeling.
And then she remembered what the oracle had said: A bypath... little stones, doors, and openings.
It was a window like the one in an Avenue in Manila. She could only see it because of the light: with the sun any higher it probably wouldn't show up at all.
She approached the little patch of air with passionate curiosity, because she hadn't had time to look for the first one: she'd had to get away as quickly as possible. But she examined this one in detail, touching the edge, moving around to see how it became invisible from the other side, noting the absolute difference between this and that, and found her mind almost bursting with excitement that such things could be.
the Shadow hunter who had made it, at about the time of Rpw revolution, had been too careless to close it, but at least he'd cut through the at a very similar to the world on this side: next to a rock face. But besides, k on the other side was different, not limestone but granite, and as Fire stepped through into a new a world she found herself not at the foot of a towering cliff but almost at the top of a low outcrop over-looking a vast plain.
It was evening there, too, and she sat down to breathe the air and rest her limbs and taste the wonder without rushing. Wide golden light, and an endless prairie of savanna, like nothing she had ever seen in her own world. To begin with, although most of it covered in short grass in an infinite variety of buff-brown-green-ocher-yellow-golden shades, and undulating very gently in a way that the long evening light showed up clearly, the prairie seemed to be laced through and through with what looked like rivers of rock with a light gray surface.
And secondly, here and there on the plain were stands of the tallest trees Fire had ever seen. She had taken time out to look at the great redwpod trees, and marveled; but whatever these trees were, they would have overstopped the redwoods by half again, at least. Their foilage was dense and dark green, their vast trust gold-red in the heavy evening light.
And finally, herds of creatures, too far off to see distincly, graze on the prairie. There wqs strangeness about their movements that she couldn't quite work out.
She was desperately tired, and thirsty and hungry and besides,
Somewhere nearby, though, she heard the welcome trickle of a spring, and only a minute later she found it: just a seepage of clear water from a mossy fissure, and a tiny stream that led away down the slope. She drank long and gratefully, and filled her bottles, and then set about making herself comfortable, for night was falling rapidly. And so she slept.
"We should move away from this window," Cloud said, "just in case they find you and come through"
"Yes, that's true, we should protect fire" said raziel, and they move up the slope, Nuto carrying Fire and Earth happily carrying a little bag she kept the fairy in. Out on the corner of his eye, Nuto saw two small spies following, but they kept their distance and made no threat.
Over the brow of the rise there was a ledge of rock that offered a narrow shelter, and they sat beneath it, having carefully checked it for snakes, and shared some dried fruit and some water from Nuto's bottle.
Nuto said quitely "Fire's hurt. I don't know how it happened. Someone did something, or said something and I thought of the hunters that made Fire twist, or catch, or--I don't know what happened. But we're stuck till we can get her mended. I didn't want those two little people to know, because while they think she is still strong, We've got the upper hand. I thought you could ask the fairy burrito maybe, and--"
"Yeah!" Earth said at once. "Yeah, I will."
She got the fairy out in a moment and moved in the moonlight so she could see the fairy clearly. Looping back the hair behind her ears, just as Nuto had seen her girlfriend do, she began to turn the fairy on the old familiar way, and Shadow, mouse-formed now, sat on her knee.
Earth had hardly started before she gave a little gasp of excitement, she looked up at Nuto with shining eyes as the fairy burrito swung. But it hadn't finished yet, and she looked back, frowning, until little fairy burrito fell still.
Earth put it away, saying "Claire? Is she nearby, Nut? I thought I heard you call her, but then I thought I was just wishing. Is she really?"
"Yes. Could she mend Fire? Is that what the stuff the fairy said?"
"Oh, she can do anything with elements, Nut! Not only elements--He can fix little delicate things as well..." Earth showed him the little box Clair had made for her to shut the spy in. "But where is she?"
"Close by. She would have come when I called, but obviously she was fighting...I just hoped she'll win against them." Nuto replied.
"Yeah, we hoped so too." Clair said as she caress Fire's hair. "Fire needs her. and yuuko's worrying about her mom" she added while glancing at little yuuko who is sitting on a corner.
"woah ? those creeps we're so stupid" Electrisite said then blew her hand as sparks of current disappear.
They all looked at her. "Electrisite good thing you're here. Fire needs you" Nuto said.
El kneels infront of fire. and Nuto let her clean Fire's wounds and put some fresh ointment from her pocket while he told her some of what had happened: the fight with a stranger, the revelation that came to them both a second before the witch's arrow struck home, her and raziel meeting with the angels, their journey to the cave and how nuto found them and the other seekers.
"All that happening that led fire into this situation? and being put into a deep slumber?" she marveled. "D'you know, I think she was kind to me, Nut--I think she was--I don't think she was kind to me...She did such bad things, but..." Electrisite's faced turned serious.
"Oh but my dream Nut--I saw fire. In my dream I saw her, only she was dead. She was a ghost, she was, like beckoning to me, calling to me, only I couldn't hear. So I got down into the land of the dead and find her. and...rescue her but"
Nuto cut her off "This place where the dead are. Is it a world like this one, like mine or yours or any others? Is it the world where I could get to with fire's body?"
She looked at him. struck by the idea.
"You could ask," he went on. "Earthe, Do it now. Ask where her soul is, and how we get there."
She bent over the fairy. caress it's head. a minute later she had the answer.
"Yes," she said, "but it's a strange place, Nuto...So strange..Could we really do that? Could we really go to the land of the dead? But --what part of us does that? Because daemons fade away when we die--" She looked down at yuuko who is holding her daemon tightly and shadow who is still disguised as a daemon bird allow yuuko to ride her back "I've seen them--and our bodies, well, they just stay in the grave and decay, don't they?"
"Then there must be a third part. A different part" yuuko said innocently looking at all of them. worried about her daemons.
"You know," El said, full of excitement, "I think that must be true! Yuuko, you're a genius! just like your mom" she said as she ruffled yuuko's hair.
Yuuko raised her head with aplomb "Because I can think about me and I can think about my daemon--so there must be another part, to do the thinking!"
"Yes. and that's our ghosts"
Earthe's eyes ablazed. She said, "Maybe we could get fire's ghost out. Maybe we could rescue her"
"Maybe we could try?" said el.
"We'll do it. We will rescue mom. that's exactly what we'll do!"
But if they didn't get fire's wounds mended, Nuto thought, everything will be useless.
As soon as his head cleared and his stomach calmer, he sat up amd called to the little spies. They were busy with some minute apparatus nearby.
"Who are you?" he asked, "And whose side are you on?"
The man finished what he was doing and shut a wooden box, like a violin case no longer than a wallnut. The woman spoke first.
"We are Strippian," she said. "I am aerona and my companion is warlock. We are spies for hades."
"Hades? How did you find us?"
Flashback a few months ago...
Fire and her friend were happily talking about their crushes when one of her friend Hypnosis came.
"What do you want with us?" she said crossing her arms.
"I have a proposal"
"What would I get in return?"
"I could tell you where I've been, and maybe you'd be interested, I don't know. I saw all kinds of strange things on the way here"
"Oh, and you're offering to tell a story?"
"If you'd like"
"Maybe I would. And what then?"
"You might take my dare and go in through that maze and accompany me to do some ghost hunting; I hope you would, anyway. If you're not a scaredy cat" the gal smirked.
"Scaredy cat my ass. Forget the story. Let's go to that damn maze" Fire stood up in aplomb as Hypnosis led the way.
And even she's with her friend-- Fear and she and Hypnosis were friends, she still felt that she'd been dealt with the evil. Fire gazed to the quiet Fear, she seems so uninterested.. and her expression was like disagreeing..
But then later on they found themselves on a great plain that extended far ahead into the mist. The light by which they saw was a dull self-luminescence that seemed to exist everywhere equally, so there were no true shadows and no true light, and everything was the same dingy color. They held each others arms, standing on this dark floor of this huge maze while they hear voices of agony-so many many voices that Fire couldn't guess the number.
No one was moving about or running nor moving, their lips turned pale and some of them covers their ears.
"Somebody help us! please! help! help!" And it sound as if the voices were coming from everywhere, sort of pleading, and the word echoed back from the great wall in the back, muffled and changed, so that she seemed to be screaming someone's name. full of rage and hatred.
"Ghosts," Hypnosis whispered. "This is where they all are, every one that's ever died."
"D-Damn you. You devil." A voice said and then vanished into thin air.
Fire had Fear pressed against her chest, with her shoulder curved over to protect her, and she felt her shaking and sobbing against her. She turned her head to look for Hypnosis. But she's already gone, vanished into the darkness. So there she continued walking.
"D-Damn you. You devil." A voice said and started crying for help--
Shivering and frightened was she and Fear when they saw their ghost lying on the on a cold corner of a grassy ground. A girl was standing on a corner of their bodies. A triumphant smile was visible on her face as she turned around to look at Fire.
"Hypnosis...Hallucinations. this is a hallucination that you've plotted. I'm in a dream, weren't I? you've made me sleep. wake me up hyp! wake us up!" Fire said screamin while tears streaming down her face.
"Somebody help us! help! help!" It's late when she realized that the voices she heard were theirs, the voices were warnings.
"You're not asleep. You're dreaming while you're awake. and I can't do anything about it. I won't"
She looked at hyp in vast anger. She summoned all of her powers and cast it on hyp when without even a cry of warning, hypnosis launched herself at fire, one of her claws caught her scalp and tore out a clamp of hair.
Fear swerved out of reach just in time but didn't made to avoid Hypnosis' aim. Fire fell on the ground, she looked beside her and saw Fear, her eyes are open, but lifeless. She felt dizzy, her visions got blurry and she felt numb and shock and half-blinded by the blood running down her face.
"D-Damn you. you devil..."
“Dominatrix: a professional female who gets paid to take the dominant role in a b**m relationship.” you read out loud to yourself as you smirk and went searching for some sites who offers this kind of astounding service. You clicked on a site named “Hypnosia” and saw a woman’s picture, her beautiful face caught your eye. And as the picture loaded you saw her in a black skintight leather catsuit, a corset that shaped her perfectly, knee-high boots, elbow length gloves and a whip in hand. Her stare so alluring that you feel it pierce through the screen, your d**k getting excited just by thinking about her on you. You clicked several buttons and booked her for the night, a map appearing as you clicked ‘Confirm’. You hurriedly suited up and drove off into the night with a hard-on still intact. After minutes of driving, you arrived infront of a white mansion the porch coated with roses and a lovely cream door by the front. You rang the doorbell twice as instructed and a woman with a surprisingly seductive maid outfit greeted you.
“Welcome to hypnosia’s paradise.” her voice enticing every nerve in your body. She bowed and left you there, staring at her curvy backside and bursting in excitement. Footsteps came from the grand staircase and there she was, Hypnosia herself, in a see-through robe and underneath is her outfit. That skintight catsuit that gets you every time, a whip, secured safely by her waist and a mask that covered half of her face. “So, mister.” Your shaft already up just by her voice. “Come up to my chambers for my only wish is to please you.” Excitement rushed through your body in a jolt and you followed her upstairs.
Now, you’re standing in a room, naked and impressed with the wide range of s*x toys displayed by her. The door creaks open and her mask was off, you could see her hypnotizing green eyes staring at you. Her face painted with seduction as she walked towards you with her heels clicking on the ground, her eyes never left yours and she smirks as she gets a jet black rope and a chair. “Sit.” Her voice stern which made you obey at once. She tied your hands tightly and started circling you, a riding crop in hand that she’s hitting on her hand. The sound exciting your very soul and your shaft on full erection while she blindfolded you and let the riding crop explore your body for her. You unconsciously close your legs and at that action she hit your thigh, “Keep it open.” A jolt of excitement rushed through you yet again at the sound of her voice. You feel her face awfully close to yours, her breath touching your lips. You leaned forward and she backed away, “Naughty, naughty boy.”
You feel her fingers caress your shaft and you squirm in your seat, a groan barely escaping your mouth. “Your safe word is morteux, my dear.” She said and slowly spread your legs open, her dainty little fingers wrapping around your shaft, she licked your tip which made you groan louder. “Silence.” She played with your tip licking and rubbing it alternately. “Hyp—” She cut you off, her grip tightening on your shaft. “Call me mistress.” You nodded under your blindfold. “Mistress, please.” You begged for her warm mouth around your erection. “Please what?” You growled at the question. “Did you just growl at me?” Her voice rising and in a mocking tone, as she continued to tease you. Your groans getting louder at the feeling of her lips pressed against your tip. “Please, mistress.” You begged again and she smiled with satisfaction. Her mouth expanding over your length, all 7 inches down. Her warm mouth hugged your shaft perfectly, her head bobbing furiously with just about the right suction to make you moan. “Mistress, yes.”
" Mistress. Then I become the legal wife then" The voice got him curious. Hypnosia unties his blindfold. His gaze turned to the girl who just spoke, fire. He glanced at fire and he saw how erected her n*****s were.
"s**t. Threesome. Didn't know this would be my lucky day"
"lucky day it is mister"
He looked at hypnosia, her expressive and alluring eyes that never fails to make him hard down there. his eyes roamed at fire's body. Like her name, has got a body that is as hot as hell. If he has twin d***s he would be f*****g them simultaneously right now. he thought.
Next thing he know, fire's already infront of him, feeling his hard mandhood that is so ready for her, them rather.
"f**k you for cheating on me husband"
With blazing eyes was she as she bend down to get his belt.
she didn't control her feeling, she harshly grab a clamp of his hair, making him groan in of great pain and shock. Feeling that pain makes his body hardened more, like it's gonna explode anytime.
"D-Damn, stop" His eyes grew wider when she bent her head and claimed his lips in a rough and savage kiss.
His sanity vanished. fire pushed his muscular chest. Her grip on him loosened, She looked up to him, smirking.
"w-w-what are you going to do?" he asked horrifyingly through the chatters of her teeth.
"The two of you, made me so hot babe" she murmured in his mouth "And jealous. I'm the wife. I should be" and again crushed her mouth against his.
He moaned in bewilderment and hurt. Her tongue was like a whip, lashing his mouth painfully. he twisted free but the strong ropes that tightened on his wrists resisted him from doing so.
Her hand roamed down his chest down to his buddy and grab it in an insulting way, like he's like those wanton guy she'd ever met. He moaned when hyp put one of her boobs inside his mouth. Torn between pain and pleasure, his mouth agape.
Fire grab hyps shoulder pulled her up and kissed her mouth. She sat on his long and hard buddy and let him entered her, She started going up and down while of her hand was going in and out of hyonosia's genital. The room was now filled with songs of uncontrollable pleasure. Hypnosia kissing him and fire rocking faster on his shaft.
"I-I'm near" he groaned while biting hyp's lower lip.
"M-Me too" Fire and hyp said in unison.
He was about to reach his climax, when the illusion fades and he's in a room with illusion infront of him. She smiles and bids farewell as his shadow consumes him to unconsciousness.
